Lawrence Lessig: Hacking Democracy, Internationales Sommerfestival Kampnagel 23-Aug-2016 How democracy gets defeated and the techniques to take government from people, and the hacks to get it back. // The talk is CC-BY-4.0 Lawrence Lessig

Vortrag von Matthias MProve am 8.5.16 an der HAWK Hildesheim. Unsere moderne Gesellschaft scheint durch Computer und Softwaresysteme bestimmt zu sein. Die damit verbundenen Veränderungen sind für die einen enorm; sie sprechen vom »digitalen Wandel« und »Industrie 4.0«. Die anderen, die mit der digitalen Technik aufgewachsen sind, verbinden damit keine Ängste, sondern sie nehmen die digitalen Services als selbstverständliche Infrastruktur wahr. Erst beide Sichtweisen zusammen schaffen eine gute Grundlage, wenn es darum geht die nächste Generation der Produkte und Services zu gestalten und damit letztlich auch auf die Spielregeln Einfluss zu nehmen, die unsere Gesellschaft zusammen halten.

Sven Klomp, Michael Merkel und Christoph Haffner trafen sich zu einem Gespräch über Szenografie. Diese Gespräch war einmalig, bleibt aber ungehört, da die Aufnahmetechnik versagte. You know, never blame the user. Zu hören ist hier also der Trialog 2.0 über Szenografie, der die drei u.a. zu den Fundamenten des Doms in St. Georg geführt hat. Cross-Posting vom HafenRadio, Episode 002 Szenografie. Mit freundlicher Genehmigung von Michael Merkel und Christoph Haffner. PS: Die Herren waren nicht betrunken. Sie hatten nur gute Laune. à propos: Aufmerksam 2013-2015

Jeff Gothelf: Building a Culture of Innovation Abstract: You’ve read The Innovator’s Dilemma. You’ve bought in to The Lean Startup. You’re ready to kickstart your company’s product innovation efforts. There’s just one problem: you’re not sure where to begin: What can design teach us about building a collaborative culture? How do you structure a successful product design team? How should that team work? How will that team measure success? Jeff will offer practical, step-by-step, guidance on how to build and support successful product design innovation in your business. Using insights gained from leading and working with dozens of product and design teams, Jeff will step through team makeup, process steps, management structure and the corporate infrastructure needed for these teams to flourish.

Ned Rossiter on Coordinating Life in Predictive Cities Abstract. The digital is now everything and everywhere. While the missing flight MH370 is yet to be found, for the rest of us there is nowhere left to hide. The horror of cybernetic extension into the vicissitudes of daily life is now well and truly a reality. CCTV cameras, motion capture technologies, RFID chips, smart phones and locational media, GPS devices, biometric monitoring of people and ecological systems – these are just some of the more familiar technologies that generate data and modulate movement and consumption within the logistical city. For many, the model has become the world. Our tastes are calibrated and relayed back to us based on the aggregation of personal history coupled with the distribution of desire across sampled populations. Decision is all too frequently an unwitting acceptance of command. The biopolitical production of labor and life has just about reached its zenith in terms of extracting value, efficiency and submission from the economy of algorithmic action. Nowhere is this more clear than in the ‘sentient city’, where the topography of spatial scales and borders gives way to the topology of ubiquitous computing and predictive analytics in which the digital is integrated with the motion of experience. In the sentient city data becomes a living entity, measuring the pulse of urban settings and determining the mobilization of response to an increasingly vast range of urban conditions: traffic movements, air quality, chemical composition of soils, social flash points, etc. The horror of urban life is just beginning. No matter the foibles of human life, predictive analytics and algorithmic modeling deploy the currency of data to measure labor against variables such as productivity, risk, compliance and contingency. What, then, for labor and life outside the extractive machine of algorithmic capitalism? Can sociality reside in the space and time of relative invisibility afforded by the vulnerable status of post-populations? Can living labor assert itself beyond the calculations of enterprise software and the subjugation of life to debt by instruments of finance capital? These are disturbing, complicated questions that require collective analysis if we are to design a life without determination. Bio. Ned Rossiter is Professor of Communication in the Institute for Culture and Society at the University of Western Sydney and teaches into the School of Humanities and Communication Arts. He is currently working on three books, two of which are entitled Software, Infrastructure, Labor: A Media Theory of Logistical Nightmares (New York: Routledge, forthcoming 2015) and (with Geert Lovink) Urgent Aphorisms: The Politics of Network Cultures (London and New York: Minor Compositions, forthcoming 2015). His writings have been translated into Italian, Spanish, German, French, Finnish, Dutch, Chinese, Greek, Latvian, Hungarian and Turkish. Ned is a coordinating researcher with Brett Neilson on an international project examining the imperial force of infrastructure – Logistical Worlds: Infrastructure, Software, Labour, http://logisticalworlds.org. This talk was recorded at the workshop: Computing the City – Ubiquitous Computing and Logistical Cities at the Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University Lüneburg, 9-10 July 2014.

Orit Halpern on The Neuro-Cognitive Comples: A Brief Genealogy of Responsive Environments Abstract. This paper traces the cybernetic influence on designers, urban planners, architects, and human scientists, to produce a preliminary speculative genealogy of contemporary “smart” and ubiquitous computing territories and mediums. Taking a series of case studies ranging from neural nets to Nicholas Negroponte’s experiments in Soft Architecture, to contemporary smart city developments such as Songdo in South Korea, the paper will trace the rise of the ideal of an algorithmically produced territory, and the subsequent transformations (real and imagined) in the forms of measurement and calculation administering populations. This emergent "neuro-cognitive" complex, where bandwidth and the modulation of attention is understood as necessary for the sustainability of life is the architecture for contemporary investments in big data, responsive environments, and ubiquitous computing. Bio. Dr. Orit Halpern an assistant professor in History and Media Studies at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College, New York. As part of my work as an historian, I am also interested in digital cinema and multi-media documentary, contemporary art practice, animation, and literature. I am particularly partial to those works inspired by, and dedicated to, problems of time and memory. www.orithalpern.net This talk was recorded at the workshop: Computing the City – Ubiquitous Computing and Logistical Cities at the Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University Lüneburg, 9-10 July 2014.

UX Roundtable 2.6.2014: Kris Lohmann sprach über Die UX von Enterprise-Anwendungen: Ein Aschenputtel des Software-Designs? Es ist mittlerweile auch außerhalb der UX-Community verstanden, dass die User-Experience von Consumer-Produkten im direkten Zusammenhang zu den Geschäftszielen einer Organisation steht. Daher investieren erfolgreiche Unternehmen massiv in die Benutzbarkeit und Attraktivität ihrer Benutzungsschnittstellen. Oberflächen und Bedienkonzepte von Enterprise-Software machen häufig eine andere Einstellung deutlich. Kris Lohmann argumentiert, warum auch und gerade dieser Bereich eine sehr spannende Herausforderung für UXler darstellt. Des Weiteren adressiert er, welchen (Stellen-)Wert funktionierende, benutz- und beherrschbare Software im Backoffice eines Unternehmens hat.

Jeremy Tai Abbett, Svenja Teichmann (mod), Susanne Lämmer, Jörg Jelden: Agenturen sind tot – Agenturen der Zukunft. Panel-Diskussion auf dem Reeperbahn Festival Campus 2013 Die Agenturlandschaft ist im Umbruch und die Kommunikationsbranche steht vor großen internen und externen Herausforderungen. Mehr denn je ist sie auf ein erfolgreiches Zusammenwirken verschiedenster Akteure angewiesen. Die Digitalisierung erfasst nicht nur das kommunikative Produkt, sondern immer stärker auch die Agentur als Organisation und deren Wertschöpfung. Zudem befinden sich Agenturen mittelfristig in einem schwierigen gesamtwirtschaftlichen Fahrwasser, denn die Unternehmen reduzieren vor dem Hintergrund stagnierender oder schrumpfender Märkte in Europa ihre Kommunikationsbudgets. Jörg Jelden stellt die zentralen Ergebnisse des Think-Tanks „Agenturen der Zukunft“ vor, anschließend diskutieren Experten die Ergebnisse und Anknüpfungsmöglichkeiten. Herzlichen Dank an Susanne, Svenja, Jörg und Jeremy für die Freigabe. Links Reeperbahn Festival Campus Digital: Agenturen sind tot – Agenturen der Zukunft Photo set by mprove

Nathalie Sonne, Carolin Neumann (mod), Anette Novak, Robert Drakogiannakis: Communities Revisited – Leaving the bubble behind, Reeperbahn Festival 2013 Not talking to your audience, your customers, your users is not an option anymore. While most companies have understood this, they – especially media companies – stay in their bubble and don’t spend too much time on thinking what kinds of communities they really need to build to survive the media crisis. This panel looks beyond simple social media communication and dives into the minds of people who get what it means to really interact with your target audience. Many thanks to Anette, Nathalie, Robert and Carolin for the permission to share the recording.

Anette Novak: On the citizen's side, Reeperbahn Festival 2013 Few businesses have been so disrupted by the digital evolution as publishing. But your favourite news brand don’t have to die. If they play their cards right they will not only keep their strong community position, they will strengthen them. The future is spelled interactivity and innovation. Opening up the media houses and bringing in crossdiciplinary crowd creativity into every aspect of the operations. But to succeed, the executives need to stop running after the money – and instead finding a vision and a mission, shared by the community.

Celine Lazorthes: Crowdfunding, A New Economy? Reeperbahn Festival 2013 The financial sector is one of the few sectors that has not yet been disrupted. While it may be possible today to access one’s bank balance online, old habits still dominate the financial sector. However, in contrast to the on-going recession, a new financial model is gaining more and more momentum: crowdfunding. Recording an album, starting a company or yet raising funds for a good cause – the “crowd” assumes its power and boosts innovation y reuniting its force. In 2013, five billion dollar will be collected on crowdfunding sites around the globe. In ten years, crowdfunding websites will already handle 1000 billion dollars per year. Céline Lazorthes is the founder of two of Europe’s leading players within the collaboration consumption: Leetchi.com, a website for group financing and MangoPay, a certified payment solution for the collaborative consumption. In her talk, Lazorthes would like to highlight the advantages and also the risks of the so-called shareconomy and also take a look at the legal perspective. Many thanks to Celine for the permission to share the recording. Update: A video is available as well. Links Reeperbahn Festival Campus Digital: Celine Lazorthes: Crowdfunding, A New Economy?
